As far as the problem of not allocating per-mutex kernel objects,
this can be done by implementing futex.

Linux has futexes, mainly for solving certain problems having to do
with doing synchronization efficiently in user space, while requiring
the kernel to actually make threads wait.

But the technique has an attractive aspect in that programs do not
have to allocate and free futexes. Any memory location is a futex.

(A vaguely similar idea was implemented in early Unix: the "wait
channel" (wchan). Any memory location in the kernel could be waited
on and signaled, without allocating or freeing any sync object.
That's where the wchan field comes from in ps; showing the address
of what the process is waiting in. Because the wait channel had
no state, any address could be used. Addresses of functions were
used, because those could be resolved back to meaningful names via
the symbol table. Futexes have state, though.)
